Sculptra- if I have EDS Will my collagen still grow? (photos)

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a genetic disorder that affects collagen synthesis and structure, which can impact the skin's elasticity and healing ability. As a result, people with EDS may have different responses to cosmetic treatments such as Sculptra than those without the condition.

While Sculptra is an effective treatment for restoring volume and reducing the appearance of wrinkles, it works by stimulating the body's natural collagen production. In people with EDS, the quality and quantity of collagen may be compromised, which can affect the results of the treatment.

It is important to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with experience treating patients with EDS to determine if Sculptra is a suitable treatment option for you. They can assess your skin's condition and discuss any potential risks and benefits of the treatment based on your individual needs and medical history.

It is also important to note that Sculptra is not a permanent solution and may require multiple treatments over time to achieve and maintain the desired results.

Best of luck !

There is absolutely no better way to restore volume of the face than with the use of your own fat. When fat grafting is done by a Plastic surgeon with a great deal of experience in such procedures, the results are extremely natural and practically permanent. Sculptra will work and patients with a EDS because the process of restoring volume with the use of sculptra is different here. The body rejects each of the small particles of sculptra buy laying layers of scar tissue (colagen) around each particle and this creates more volume. My recommendation to you is to first look at fat grafting and if that is not an option, then consider sculptra . I hope this helps and good luck from New York city plastic surgery
